In this episode, we deep dive into the concept of customs tariffs and how they are applied in international trade. Customs tariffs are schedules of duties or taxes imposed on imported or exported goods. They serve the purpose of revenue generation for the government and also regulate and protect domestic industries. Customs tariffs are applied during the customs clearance process, where customs officers review relevant documents to determine the classification of goods and refer to the tariff schedule to determine the duty rate. Importer Security Filing (ISF) is another essential aspect of customs clearance, providing important information about the goods and facilitating secure trade. Customs brokers play a significant role in navigating customs regulations and ensuring accurate and timely submission of documentation. Customs bonds provide financial guarantee for duty payment and compliance with regulations. Overall, customs tariffs are essential in maintaining the smooth flow of international trade while supporting government revenue and protecting domestic industries.
